Sometimes, old photographs inspire me to revisit crafts from the past. These whimsical fairy chairs, created from pussy willows, moss, lichens, and other dried finds from the forest, would be fun to make again.
Colder months are the best time to search out dried materials to use. There are no ticks and other biting insects in the woods. Dried materials are also easier to see when the disappearance of tree foliage and undergrowth is gone. I only take surface materials; disturbing the leaf cover can cause harm to the nests and burrows of hibernating animals.
Another way to use small chairs like these would be in a terrarium.
Wow... it`s such an interesting thing. And a lovely idea too. Thank you for sharing this!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you liked the fairy chairs. I hope to create some other small pieces this Spring. Thanks for the kind comment.
